The Different virtual machines would be the best way to go unless its a big program like AutoCAD then i would recommend going with BOOTCAMP.
A nice Virtual machine is VMware Fusion

Testimonial: "I have tried Bootcamp.. but im a Mac user and Windows is only good for certain programs trying to find a fix for that nothing serious tho, thanks :) "

Here is a tutorial on how to install Wine on a mac. Wine is normally used in linux to run Windows exe files. Wine is not 100 percent functional all of the time in Linux, so I would assume the same for Mac. You need to be comfortable with the command line to install Wine on the Mac.
